A young model voted “the most handsome man in Italy” has decided to abandon his career to become a priest. An astonishing journey.
From modeling to the priesthood, there was only one step for Edoardo Santini, the most handsome man in Italy. We were surprised by the reconversion of Amandine Pélissard from Large families in charming content. Here too we see a surprising large gap. An actress from Helene and the boys also changed course for an unusual profession. And Michel Drucker has already announced what he will do after television. But what could have happened in the professional career of this 21-year-old model?
The young man began a career as a swimmer but also as an actor and dancer. And success was there since he won the Italian boogie-woogie championship.

The young model explains that he took this step which terrified him and which prevented him from being himself: “What I am sure of is that I will not regret this trip, because now I can shout: my name is Edoardo, I am 21 years old and I am happy“. He is now in two parishes of the diocese of Florence and does not abandon his passions. He will only live them “in a different context”.
